🇺🇸🇦🇲/🇮🇷 Analysis Note: US Air Movements Near Iran (February 8-9, 2026)
Observation of February 8

On Sunday, February 8, FlightRadar24 recorded several large US transport aircraft (C-17A Globemaster III and C-5M Super Galaxy) using the Black Sea corridor and flying over the Caucasus Mountains north of Iran. Destinations were listed as "N/A".

Turkmenistan Hypothesis
The flight path and proximity to the Iranian border led many observers to consider a deployment to Turkmenistan (a neutral country bordering Iran to the north), especially since a C-37B had recently been spotted in Ashgabat (see screenshot shared yesterday).

Confirmed Destination
Subsequent tracking shows that the majority of the aircraft, including the C-5M RCH8055, landed at Yerevan-Zvartnots Airport in Armenia.

This convoy coincides with the arrival of US Vice President JD Vance in Armenia on February 9.
Volume of movements
More than 20 US aircraft have been recorded in recent days heading towards Armenia and Azerbaijan.
This scale exceeds the usual requirements of an official visit.
During the meeting with Nikol Pashinyan, Armenia announced the acquisition of V-BAT surveillance drones from the United States.

In summary
The hypothesis of a Turkmen destination was consistent with the information available on February 8.
The observed reality is a significant logistical movement towards Armenia, coinciding with Vice President Vance's visit and the delivery of military equipment.

🇬🇧 Already under considerable pressure, the British Prime Minister has switched to "survival mode." Will he survive the Epstein-Mandelson storm? The question is on everyone's mind, as this latest crisis could be the final straw. His chief of staff, Morgan McSweeney, the man who ran the show at 10 Downing Street, resigned on Sunday. But there's no guarantee that this scapegoat will be enough to quell the anger within the Labour ranks. More than ever, Keir Starmer's position as party leader is being challenged. For many observers, the question is no longer "if" but "when" he will fall, in the short term or in the more distant future.

🇺🇸🚀 USA – Missile Production: Raytheon Under Pressure, Immediate Industrial Response
Following sharp criticism from Donald Trump accusing Raytheon (RTX) of not having sufficiently invested in its industrial capabilities, the Pentagon has tightened its procurement doctrine: priority is given to manufacturers who meet deadlines, production volumes, and productive investments, at the expense of share buybacks and dividends.

📌 Clear message: without industrial ramp-up, contracts with the Department of War will end.

➡️ Raytheon's swift reaction: signing of multi-year framework agreements (up to 7 years) with the Pentagon to significantly increase missile production.

📊 Announced Capabilities:

❗️ BGM-109 Tomahawk: > 1,000 missiles/year
❗️ AIM-120 AMRAAM: ≥ 1,900 missiles/year
❗️ SM-3 IIA: Production increasing
❗️ SM-3 IB: Production accelerated
❗️ SM-6 (ERAM): 500 missiles/year

🎯 Objective: To meet the growing global demand for precision munitions and secure U.S. military supply chains.

🇺🇸🇪🇸 🇲🇦🇲🇷🇩🇿 The United States held a high-level meeting in Madrid, Spain, between Morocco, Mauritania, Algeria, and the Polisario Front—the Sahrawi separatist group in Western Sahara.

The United States proposed a framework for the region that would grant Morocco autonomy over Western Sahara.

Algeria's presence at the talks was an indication that it was open to accepting the US-backed proposal, a major shift from its initial position as the Polisario Front's main supporter. The Polisario Front—the Sahrawi separatist group—rejected the proposed framework.
